    The only trouble with the sparse dialogue and heavy action is that the issue blows by even more quickly than normal. Each issue of Casanova is a mere 16 pages long. Between the low price tag and dense storyline, usually that's plenty. This month... not so much. I just love my Casanova too much to be entirely satisfied with 16 pages of shooting and eye gouging. Hopefully the next issue will have more of a timely arrival. Read Full Review

    If this comic contained just the story on its own, I probably would have given it 3 bullets. However, the issue's final pages of backmatter are one of the most enjoyable that I've read, giving an inspiring account of Fraction's recent life as he prepared for the birth of his first child. It might not be as relevant to the content of the issue's story as it normally is, but it makes for a very enjoyable read, and gives readers a real sense that they are connecting with the creator as they gain insight into his creative process. This bumped up my score slightly - and the fact that this comic is a dollar cheaper than most other books on the stands feels like it should count for something, too. Read Full Review
